Tom Jones did the legends slot in 2009 having previously played in 1992 (was also on Sunday afternoon but seemed to pre-date being called 'the legends slot' or whatever; was a 'special guest we can't announce').

Shuttle buses here (though I couldn't work out how to book when I tried quickly): https://calamijas.com/en/viajes-organizados/ Got my tickets and flights yesterday (very cheap yesterday). Couple of questions please: I see average high is 26. Does it getting overwhelmingly hot? 26 is about right for me. Are there lock-ups for passports, etc? I have read in passing of music on the beach. Is that a stage or just background stuff? Ta!

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

If you're feeling a tad bereft, Gideon Coe is doing a good tribute on 6, playing music from across his career.

... and you just did it again. It's akin to saying that you don't rate Pulp because you don't like Jarvis's 6music show. But to be fair, I do agree with this part - there are loads of DJs who are better then the Chemical Brothers (they'd tell you same thing themselves too).

Perfect way to highlight that you really don't know what you're talking about.

I got a three-month ban at the beginning of May for 'idoitic vacuous posting' for posting the below link to some old music in the old music thread. When I politely enquired as to why, I was told it was for idiotic vacuous posting. Wouldn't it be an idea to tell people why they are being banned? Then they may be able to modify their behaviour accordingly in future.

Agreed with my mate that I've made my peace with the fact that I'll be watching Macca this time... but we can't do a Macca/NG double. Even if I go as hard as I expect I will on the Fri night, that is just too insipid a pairing for Sat night.

Shit the bed

Just got offered a free ticket for tonight but already got tix to comedy club in Greenwich. Bah!

I tend to not bother to eat all day, unless one of my various wives (I've been going to Glasto so long I've been with two different wives; I'm not a bigamist) forces something on me. I try and eat as much as I can in the morning. Then I carry nuts and crisps around with me and shove them in as and when.

Rockafeller Skank surely?

Junior Jungle self-confirmed on the Saturday. It's a child-friendly rave, so will be morning I imagine. This will go off:

Well, I prefer the remixes tbf...

They basically added quite a lot of D&B.

I think the 'doing it for a ticket' thing became fairly evident to me when Stewart Lee used to show up every year, during a time when he had given up doing stand-up, and do the same set (in the afternoon) repeatedly (it was pretty funny TBF).

I reckon the booking policy is largely dictated by who wants to do it for next to nothing. Widdicome, Ince, Lee, Kumar are all music fans - my guess is that they do it for the free ticket essentially (hence why they are often on in the afternoon).

I did wonder if I was misremembering as I was typing!

Also not helped by the stage being at the top of a hill, not the bottom. I find the view a bit crap when it's busy and I'm 6ft.

This was the state of play on Friday:

I usually park where the coaches park. though last time the gate closed and I had to find another way out (wasn't too hard)! I've strolled it a few times and never encountered any objections whatsoever.

How weird, I literally just came in to ask this! I think there was speculation he is a WH headliner, but I'm not sure there was any actual info behind that (I am hoping not).

There are usually some fairly big names in the afternoon. I've seen Josh W, Stewart Lee, Robin Ince, Andy Parsons in the afternoon before (and the Impro All-stars are always on on the afternoon on Fri and Sat). I guess it suits them not to clash with the acts they want to see!
